*The next day* (Maria POV)
"Maxie?" Maria asked sweetly, Max looked up from the car he was working on to look at one of his best friends.

"Huh?" Max asked wiping his hand across his face putting more grease on instead off taking some off. Maria giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Are you almost done with the car?" Maria asked just as sweetly, Max knew she was going to ask him for something and also knew there was no way he was going to be able to say no.

"Yeah."

"Could you finish cleaning the part for me when your done?"

"Why?"

"Cause I wanna go home, I have homework and I'm really tired." Maria explained pouting, Max sighed.

"Okay." Max said giving in. Maria happily threw her arms around Max and hugged him.

"You stealing my girlfriend Maxwell?" Michael asked walking up. Max laughed and went back to work.

"No way man, only you can handle her." Max said, Maria turned to Michael.

"Done shopping?" She asked, Michael nodded.

"Okay, well I have homework and sleep to do." Maria said, she gave Michael a kiss on the cheek and walked out the door. Maria ran outside of the garage just as Kyle pulled up, she jumped into the car and gave him a smile.

"You okay?" Kyle asked, Maria smiled and nodded.

"Yep, let's pick up some dinner I heard mom say that her and dad went out tonight." Maria told her brother.

"Okay, we can pick up some movies too, have a Valenti night again. Like we did when we were little." Kyle said smiling now. Maria nodded in agreement, she was glad that she had Kyle. She didn't know where she would be without him.

(Michael POV)

Michael walked into the garage to see Maria hugging Max. She asked him for something and like everyone else he gave in. Michael thought to himself.

"You stealing my girlfriend Maxwell?" Michael asked walking up. Max laughed and went back to work.

"No way man, only you can handle her." Max said, Maria turned to Michael.

"Done shopping?" She asked, Michael nodded.

"Okay, well I have homework and sleep to do." Maria said, she gave Michael a kiss on the cheek and walked out the door. Michael watched her go and turned back to his brother.

"What's wrong with her? Is she mad at me?" Michael asked scratching his eyebrow. Max just shrugged, Maria hadn't told him anything like that.

"If she tells you anything, tell me okay." Michael said, Max turned to look at his brother.

"Sure man." Max said smiling, Michael smiled back and went back into his house that was right next to the garage. His mom was in the kitchen, Michael went in and sat down on one of the chairs.

"Mom?" Michael asked, Mrs. Evans turned around and looked at her rebel without a cause son.

"Yes." Mrs. Evans said

"I need your help." Michael answered quietly.

"With what?" Mrs. Evans asked concerned.

"Maria. To me it looks like she mad at me or something, or she's not happy with me being her boyfriend. And tomorrow's our two year anniversary and I have no idea what to do. . .and I just realized that am asking my mother for advice." Michael said putting his head in his hands, Mrs. Evans laughed and sat down next to Michael.

"Honey, it's okay to ask your mother for help." Mrs. Evans said, when Michael didn't say anything else she continued.

"Here's what you do. . ."
